WHEN a man has battled with poverty all his life, fearing it as be fought it, feeling ,or its skinny throat to throttle, and yet dreading all the while the coining of the time when it would gain the mastery and throttle hart—when such a man ia told that he is rich, it might be imagined he would receive the announcement with hilarity. When Richard Denham realized that he wae wealthy he became even more •sobered than usual, and drew a long breath as if he had been running a race and had won it. The man who had brought hint the news had no idea he had told Denham anything novel. Se merely happened to say, 'You are a rich man, M. Denman, and will never mien Denham had never before been called a rich man, and up to that moment he had not thought of himaelf as wealthy. He wrote out the check asked of him, and his guest departed gretefully, leaving the merchant with some- thing to ponder over. He was surprised with the suddenness of things as if some one had lefb him a legaey. Yet the money was all his own accumulating, but his strizg, gle had. been so long, and he had been no hopeless about it, that from mere habit he exerted all his energies long after the enemy was overcome—just as the troops of New Orleans fought a great battle not knowing the war over. He had sprung from ouch a hopelessly poor family. Poverty had been their in- heritance fromgeneration to generation. Itt was the invariable legacy that father bad left to eon in the Denham family. All had accepted their lot with uncomplaining resignation, until Richard resolved he would at least have a fight for it. And now the fight had been won. Denham sat in his office staring at the dingy wallpaper so long that Rogers, the chief clerk, pub his head in and said in a deferential voice: " Anything ' more tonight, Mr. Den- ham?" Denham stinted as if that question in that tone had not been asked him every night for years. "What's that, what's that?" he cried. :. Rogers was astonished, but too well trained to show it. "Anything more to -night, Mr. Den- ham?" •"Ab, quite so. No, Rogers, thank you; nothing more." • "Good night, Mr. Denham." "Eh? Oh, yes. Good night, Rogers; good night." When Mr. Denham lefts his office and went ont into the street everything had an unusual appearance to him. He walked along unheeding the direction. He looked at the fine residences and realized that he might have a fine residence if he wanted it. • He saw hannaeme carriages; he, too, might set up an equipage. The satisfac- tion these thoughts produced was brief. Of what use would is fine house or an elegant carriage ;be to him? He knew no one to invite to the house or to ride with him in the carriage. He began to realize how utterly alone in the world he WAS. He had no friends, no acquaintances even. The running dog, with its nose to the ground, sees nothing of the sur- rounding scenery,. He knew men in a business way, of course, and doubtless each of them had a home in the suburbs somewhere'but he could not take a busi- ness man by the shoulders and say to him: "Invite me to your house; I am lonely; I want to know people." If he got such an invitation, he would not know what to do with hirnself. He was familiar with the counting -room and its language, but the drawing -room was an unexplored country to him, where an unknown tongue was spoken. On the road to wealth he had missed some- thing, and it was now too late to go back for it. Ozny the day before he had heard one of the clerks, who did not know he was within earshot, allude to him as "the old man." He felt as youug as ever he did, but the phrase, so lightly spoken, made him catch his breath. As he was now walking through the park, and away from the busy streets, he took off his hat and ran his fingers through his grizzled hair, looking at his hand when he had done ao, as if the gray, like wet paint, had come of, He thought of a girl he knew once, who perhaps would have married hirct if he had apked her, as he was tempted to do. But thet had always been the :menthe of the Denhame. They had all married young except himself, s.nd so sunk deeper in the mire of poverty, pressed. down by a rapidly inereasang progeny. The girl had married a baker, he remem- bered, Yes, }AIM) was a long time ago. The clerk was not fer wrong when he celled him an old man. Suddenly another girl rote before his mantel vielon—a inedern girl —very different indeed to the one who mar- ried the baiter. She wee the only woman in the world with whom hawas on epeek- ing terrns, and he knew her merely bemuse her light and nimble fingers played the business serene of one note on his office typewriter. .'1Vniee Gale was ptel i y, of course—all type- writer gine are—eed it • wes generally undetetood in the office that ehe belonged to a good family who had some down in the world.

It must either be at his office or nowhere. "Sit down a moment, Mies Gale," he liand at lasa "1 want to consult you about a matter—about a bueiness matter. Mise Ganz seated here& anl autoine.ti- tally placed on her knee the ehorthand writing pad, ready to take down his in- struotione. She looked up at him expect- antly. Denham, in an embarrassed manner, ran hie fingers through his heir. "1 am thinking," he began, "of taking partuer. The bueineres is very prosper- ous now. In fact, it has been so for Boma time." 41 Yes ?" said Miss Gale, interrogetively. ni Yes. I think I ehould have a partner. It is about that I wanted to speak to you." "Don't you think it would be better to commit with Mr. Rogere ? He knows more about business than I. But, per- haps, it is Mr. Rogers ,who is to be the partner ?" Ne, it is not Rogers. Rogers is a good man. But—it is not Rogan." "Then I think in an important matter like this Mr. Rogers, or some one who hziewa the business as thoroughly as ha does, would be able to give you advice that would be of some value." "I don't want advice exactly. I have made up my mind to have a partner, if the partner is willing." Denham mopped his brow. It was going to be even pore difficult than he had anticipated. " ds it, then, a question of the (medal the partner is to bring in ?" asked Miss Gale, anxious to help Min. "No, no. I don't wish any capital. • I have enough for both. And the badness is very prosperous, Miss Gale—and—and has been." The youug woman raised her eyebrows in surprise. "You surely don't intend to share the • ?roan with a partner who brings no capital into the business ?" "Yes—yes, I do. You Bee, as I said, I have no need for more capital." "Oh, if that is the ease, I think you ahould consult Mr. Rogers before you com- mit yourself." "Bali Rogers wouldn't understand." "Pm afraid I don'tunderstand, either. It seems to me a foolish thing to do—that in If you want my advice." Oh, yes, I want it. Bat it isn't as foolish as you think. I should have had a partner long ago. That is where I made the mistake. I've made up zny mind on that." "Than I don't: see that: I can be of any use—if your mind is already made up." "Oh, yes, you can. Inn a little afraid that my offer may nob be accepted." "It's sure to be if the man has any tense. No fear of suoh an offer being refused. Offers like that are not to be had every day. It will be accepted." "Do you really think so, Miss Gale? I am glad that is your opinion. Now, what I wanted to canaille you about is the form of the offer. I would like to put it—well— delicately, you know, so that it would not be refused nor give offertee." "1 see. You want me to write a letter to him 7 " "Exactly, exantly," cried Denham, with some relief. He had not thought of sending a letter before. Now he wondered why he had not though& of it. It was so evidently the best way out of a situation that was extremely disooncerting. " Have you spoken to him about it ?" " To him What him ? " "To your future partner, about the proposal." " No, no. Ohl no I That is—I have not spoken to anybony but you." "And you are determined nett to speak to Mr. Rogere before you write? " "Certainly nob. It's none of Rogers' business." Oh, very well," said Miss Gate, shortly, banding over her writing pad. It was evident- that her opinion of Den - ham's wisdom was steadily lowering. Sud- denly she looked up. "How mach shall I say the annual profits are—or do you want that men- tioned ?" "1-1 don't think I would mention than You see? I don't wish the arrangement to be carried out: on a monetary baeis—not altogether." • "On what basis, then ?" " Well—I can hardly say. On a personal basis perhaps. I rather hope that the person. --that my partner—would, yen know, like to be &sal:misted with me." "On a friendly basis, do you mean 2" asked Miss Gale, mercilessly. " Certannly. Friendly, of course—and perhaps more than that." Miss Gale looked up at him with a cer- tain hopeleasnees of expresision. "Why not write a, note inviting your future partner to call upon you here, or anywhere else that would be convenient, and then dieense the inetter Dealtam looked frightened.

"I'll add that, thouh, Yonne truly,' or Yours very truly?" "You might end Your friend," The rapid click of the typewriter was heard for a Nw inemeats in the next room, and then Mies Gale mune out with the com- pleted litter ie her bead. "Shall I have the bey copy it?" she asked. Oh, bleu you, no V' aneweradi Mr. Den- ham, with evident trepidation. The young woman said to hereelf t "He doeen't want Mr. Rogers to know, and no wonder. It is a moat: unbusineselike pro- • ne-SA" Then she weld %load t "Shall you want me again to -day ?" "No, Miss Gale, and thank you very much." Next morning Miss Gale came into Mr. Denham's office with a emile on her fate. "You made a funny mietake last eight:, Mr. Denham," she said, as she took off her wraps. "-Did I?" he asked, in alarm. "Yes. You emit that letter to any ad- dress. I got it thle morning. I opened it, for.I thought it was for me, and that per- haps you clid not need me to -day. Bat I saw at once that yeti put it in the wrong envelope. Did you want me to -day ?" It WM on his tongue to my "1 want you every day," but he merely helcl out his hand for the letter, and looked at it as if be could net account for ha having gone astray. • The next day Mies Gale came in late and she looked frightened. It was evi- dent that Denham was losing his mind. She pub the letter down before him and maid a "You addressed that to me the seeend time, Mr. Denham." • There was a leek off haggard anxiety about Denham that gave color to her au:Ti- c:ions. He felt that it was now or never. "Then why don't you answer it, Miss Gale ?" he said, gruffly. She backed away from him. "Answer ib ?" she repeated faintly. "Certainly. If I got a letter twice I would answer it." "What de you mean ?" she cried, with her hand on the doorknob. "Exactly What the letter says. I want yeti for my partner. I want to marry you, and—fluent:N.1 considerations"— " Oh 2" cried Miss Gale, in a long -drawn, quiverbig sigh. She was doubtless shocked at the word he had used, and fled to her bype-writing room, cluing the door behind her. Richard Denham paced up and down the floor for a few moments, then rapped lightly at her door, but: there was no response. He plat on his hat and went oat into the street. After a long and aimless walk he found himself again at his place of business. When he went in Rogers said to him: " Miss Gale has /eft, sir." " Has she?" "Yes, and she has given notice. she is not comilg back, sir." " Very well.' He went into his own room and found letter marked "personal" on his desk. He tore it open and read in neatly type -written characters: "1 have realigned my platy as type- writer girl, having been offered a better sibuation. I am offered a partnership in the house of Riehard Denisananil have deaided to accept the position; not se much on acconnt of its financial attractions as because I shall be glad on a friendly basis, to be associated with the gentleman I have named.

My mother will be pleased to meet you any time you pain You have the address. Your friend, MARGARET GALE." "Rogera 1" shouted Denham, joyfully. "Yes, sir," answered that estimable man, patting his head into the room. " Advertise for another typewriter girl, Rogers." "Yes, sir," seld Rogers.—London Idler. Reanenstrated. "1 am afraid I shall not be able to com- pose a letter that will suit you. Where seem to be so many difficulties. It is very unnsuaL" "That is true, e.nd that is why I knew no ono but you could help me." Miss Gale shook her head, buts after a few moments she said " How will this do 7" " Dear Sir"— "Wide 0, moment," cried Mr. Denham, "that seems rather a forerun • opening, doesn't It? How would it read if you pat it Dear Friend?" "11 you wiah it so." She crossed out the "sir," and substituted the word suggested. Then :the read the letter : • "Dear Friend,—I have for some time past been desirous of ttsking a partner, and would be glad if you would colander the cenerition and consenb to join me in this business. The business Is, and has been for eoveral years, very prosperous, and, as I shall require no capital from you, I think you will find my offer a very advantageous eon I will I don't think I would put it quite that way," said Denham, with some hesitation. "Ib reads an if I were offering everything, and that my partner—well, you see what I mewl." • It's the truth," said Miss Gale, defi- antly. • "Batter put ib on the frieediy basis, as you suggested a moment ago." "1 don't suggest anything, Mr. Denham. Perhaps it would be better if you would dictate the letter exactly as you wants it. I lineev I could not write ono to pleaste you." " It does please me, butl'in thinking of nay future partner. You ere doing finite, rate--bettee than I could do. Bub just pat it. on the friendly been."

Although the first idea of grace is that of slow and leisurely movement, yet there may be quite as marsh grace in the rapid one, in the weeping flight of a bird, in the floating of the waltzer, in the sinuous circling of the fish, in the leaping of a cat— that thing of curves and bending ease. The real grace of motion is that which has no sharp corners and angular lines, no halts or atumbles ; it may be idow' it may be swift, it must be on the ideli ofthe ourved line.

The long and slender limb, that looks in repine as if it should have the movement of a. dream of graae, is annexe if its mustnes have no mastery of it, if the musales themselves are so rigid that the will has little control of them, and only exercise, and that of an intelligenb sort, will make that limb obedient to the will and make the will know how to order it.

The Gimlet Knife. The gimlet knife is a weapon eo danger - one that its menufacture is forbinden by law. • Tina is one of the emalleat fighting knives used by any people of the °lath and one of the most deadly. In length the knife is hardly longer than a long gimblet, so that it can readily be concealed inside the waistband of the trousers. The handle is nob set on parallel with the blade as in an ordinary knife, but at right angles, like that of a gimlet; hence the name. The handle is grasped with the blade between the seeend and third fingers, the upper part of the blade being drawn down to a shank so as to prevent cutting the fingers when the knife ie so held. The blade when In position repreaents merely an exten- sion of the axis of the arm, and Is not held at right angles with the arm, as the villain in the play holds his knife. The blade is made of the beat razor steel, is doctble-edged for the lower twonlairde of its length and is as keen as a, razor. It is not dagger -pointed, but has the stronger formation of a rounding point. ,The blade is short, but long enough to in- flict a, fatal wound, and so strong and keen that it will divide a rib under a powerful blow or cut through any garment like so much paper. The peculiar position of the handle leaves nothing for an adversary to grasp at except the blade, so that it le almost impossible for the wielder of the knife to be disarmed, the more so as the handle carves in at the end, giving the fingers a better hold upon it. A geed gimlet knife costs $5 or more.

"Who marries in May will rue the day," is a proverb almost as old as time. That a marriage in May would surely prove unlucky was one of the early super- stitions of the Greeks and Romans. Though these old superstitions are now recorded only as history, it is a fact that there has been a notable decrease in the number of marriages cnlebrated during the fifth month of the present century. • .• When the leaves are unfolding and the first spring flowers foretell the coming of the balitty days of summer it seems imitable that lovers should join hands and celebrate that union ia which there is strength end happiness.
